Dusted off the Cuda the other day, nice to have windows and seals. What a joy to drive, no leaks and perfectly functional. Even though all of my wiring is new I finally installed a charge wire from the alternator direct to battery and saw an immediate change in the ammeter behavior. The needle...

Agreed. Sam’s was the only shop that provided an itemized estimate. 3 other shops said “ we start at $9500, bring it on in. Sam’s has a lifetime guarantee too.

Sams took care of little details like repainting the wiper arms, tow hooks, spoiler repair, new decals and pin stripe

Really impressed with Sam’s Auto Body. They removed the bed, doors and hood. 2018 Ram silver wheels with 305 Proxes went on as soon as I got home

Engine had 355k miles and ran fine. I’ve retired and no interest in a new truck so decided to keep on driving this amazing machine

I don’t do much Cuda work in the hot summer. 20 year anniversary for my Ram so had the 5.7 rebuilt and new silver paint. Adding 2018 Ram silver wheels and 305x20 Proxes.

So decided the whole patina thing ain’t gonna fly so shopping for a good body n paint outfit. One hot rod shop, starting with sand blasting, quoted $60k to $80k. Jeezuz. Anyway, screwing around one day decided to follow through with an idea of green led’s under the 8 barrel hood butterflies.

Here’s the sequence: on a bench adjust the regulator to a position where both wheels are at the right distance apart and will be able to enter their respective slots in the glass bracket gizmo, confirm this by pre fitting. install regulator loosely, slide the glass bracket into fender opening...

Yes, contrary to a video I watched I bolted in the glass last. Even though the glass is original and scratched, I knew tossing it into the fender to assemble everything was not a good call for me. Getting the two window bolts in takes a little patience but very doable this way.

Good morning boys!

Here’s jamb pic after cleaning and waxing. New door seal installed.

Glass bolts arrived so I got the driver side quarter glass bolted into place last night. Today I’ll install the door frame seal, then adjust the quarter glass. After that I’ll clean and detail the door, jamb and install the new door seal. Planning on taking the car up to a first Fridays near the...

Degreaser, solvent, elbow grease, cleaner wax. Here’s after pics. Passenger side glass complete including new door seal, door frame seal, felts etc. had to shrink pics, keep getting the “ too big” warning

Waiting on 2 window bolts the other day so began cleaning and detailing the 57 year old Jambs here’s before.
